St Columba Falls Nov 2016

St Columba FallsWe were in the middle of a little waterfall binge, and St Columba Falls were to be our final falls of the two-day holiday. We prised ourselves away from the Halls Falls and headed off for St Columba.

The sun had bothered me when photographing Halls Falls; it had been a bit too bright and posed photographic problems due to the glare. By St Columba Falls, we were back into rain. We are now well-practised at rain! At least it wasn’t teeming like the last time I was there.

By the time we arrived, the thought of walking was very unpleasant, and I knew any photographs would be of white measles. A guy who returned sopping said he couldn’t even see the falls anyway. Done. On we continued to Ringarooma, finding a very nice cafe for cake and coffee – a necessary part of peak or waterfall bagging – in Scottsdale at a Gallery.
